Choose a college team, load a pitcher, and move from movement shapes into full-location heatmaps, split tables, and report-ready context without leaving the page.
Pick a team first, then choose from the pitchers currently available for that club.
Movement plots, persistent pitch retagging, and arm-angle overlay tools are grouped here for pitch-shape review.
Saved retags persist across sessions without modifying the source Parquet.
Uses the current pitcher's average release height and release side with shoulder height set to 70% of the entered height.
These filters drive full-location heatmaps that now include misses and chase lanes outside the strike zone, not just the box itself.
These controls affect the heatmaps below.
Each panel below is a smoothed location surface built from actual pitch coordinates, so the visual carries beyond the zone edges and removes the oversized percentage labels from the old view.
Overall pitch concentration across the full plate area.
Where swings are most likely to miss, including chase space off the plate.
Smoothed contact damage on balls put in play by location.
Expected contact quality allowed at each location.
Expected plate-ending outcomes mapped to the finish location.
Pitch shape, split performance, usage, and expected outcomes are grouped below for report-building.
Build an evidence-based plan for opposing hitters from 2026 college performance, swing decisions, contact quality, pitch-family results, and location tendencies.
This split drives the statline, visuals, and detailed tables.
Filter the location surfaces independently while retaining the pitcher-hand view selected above.
Where pitchers have attacked this hitter.
Where his swings have been most vulnerable.
Contact damage by pitch location.
Expected quality on balls in play.
Expected plate-ending value by location.
Handedness, pitch family, pitch type, and count behavior are separated for quick game-plan review.
Explore starting alignment, shifts, batted-ball direction, and opponent-specific positioning from one joined play record.
Every chart and table below follows these filters.
Each point is a defender's location at pitch release; labels mark the filtered average.
Contact locations and team outcomes from matched pitch-by-pitch records.
This first pass ranks geometric candidates without treating them as official assignments. The runner-up and distance margin remain visible so close calls are easy to identify.
Assignment volume by geometric method and confidence tier.
A smaller first-to-second margin means a more ambiguous play.
Ground distance: feet from the defender's starting point to the projected batted-ball path.
Air distance: feet from the defender's starting point to the projected landing location.
Required speed: air-ball travel distance divided by recorded hang time; this is a demand estimate, not measured player speed.
Current limitation: bunts and missing trajectories remain unassigned. Pitcher and catcher starting coordinates are not available.
The closest and second-closest candidates are shown together. No selections are saved or used for player value yet.
Typical depth and lateral location, spread, sample size, and shift usage by position.
How often each recorded alignment appears in the filtered sample.
Team results on balls in play. These are descriptive and are not credited to an individual defender.
Compare positioning against the selected hitter with the team's overall filtered baseline.
